OMG! I have that! w00t! It's even up on youtube ^^ I was wondering what that said, I translated it on altavista as something like: "An indication trick series develops" I had no idea what that meant ^^ And Grandpa's gonna catalogue the stuff, so I'm sure he'll take pictures of all of it individually Oh, and I'd concur with Slyrr any other time in that these items should be earnt in contests. But hey, we're respecting Steve's wishes in having them offered to fans as gifts ;D Who are we to argue with a VIP? ;D Plus, these items are SO rare and amazing, that my desire is strong enough to overcome my reason ^^

Grandpa RD's my hero, seriously. I dunno why he doesn't have VIP status himself, rubbing shoulders with the KP VIPs as he does!

ME? A VIP??? I'm just a humble servant to the fans, Nabu, and it's just sheer luck and a little fortitude that has allowed me to meet these wonderful people over the course of time. THAT, and a little geography, too. Living close to all the action surely helps! Work HAS begun on checking out what we have, and I have to confess something I feel kind of terrible about. I sent Steve a PM yesterday afternoon when I got home, and lind of asked for more stuff. I DID say that I didn't want to be a "Piggy-Poo," but I sent that message in the hopes that NOTHING gets tossed in a dumpster somewhere. I think I remember one of us sending me a message saying "If THAT happens, I'll fly in and help you steal the DUMPSTER," LOLOLOL!!! The reason I feel bad now is I started going through the goodies Steve was SO generous in providing, and I was blown away just by the first folder containing stuff about Mr. Dr. P! Had to grab a paper towel, 'cuz something 'got in my eye' and I started clouding up, WOW! I hope you understand that I'm just a VERY loyal fan, Steve, and NOT greedy, but willing to do whatever is needed to KEEP anything like something KP going to a landfill from happening. I CAN'T ever thank Steve enough for these goodies, gang, and I'll do my best to figure out how to disperse these goods. It's going to take a lot of work, and I think I'm going to have to go through this stuff piece by piece to see who wants what. Maybe a lottery sort of thing... hmmm. What do YOU guys think on this? I'm going to have to take a TON of pictures, so be patient, too. In time, it's ALL going out to you guys! ;D ;D ;D RD

from the looks of it, there is enough there for a lottery type of thing, and still allow you to keep a few things for the next contest we have in the future.

Oh lords, the odds are always stacked against me in Lottery's ^^ But that's an option to consider for fair dispersal - otherwise we'll just be playing favorites.
On the other hand, you don't want just anybody getting items. Heck, some random member could just submit their name into the lottery and win an item, and when they get it, bin it! *gasp* Grandpa RD's the sort of person to find proper homes for KP goodies where they'll be appreciated, treasured and taken care of. So yeah, I think good judgement is the way to go, 'cause random selection is not wise for rare items.
By the way, I'm really curious to know what Mr. Dr. P stuff you found in that folder. ^^

Workin' on it, Guys.
GOOD NEWS!
I discovered a roll of what I thought was random poster-type items in a big HEAVY roll, and it turns out they are all of the same poster. YAAAAY!
After disbursing a few to staff here, there will be at LEAST 20 left up for distribution, so a lot of folks have a good chance at scoring one.
Hard decision to make, but Nabu has a good point, too. These MUST go out to loyal fans that have stuck with it through thick and thin, so I have decisions to make.
Busy-busy!!!
Hmmmm.
Hold your requests until I get pics up first, then we'll all go from there.
Ah, my sweet wife came up with a great idea. She remembered what I wanted to do for the Kimvention effort (some of you remember THAT effort, LOL!) in that anything made above and beyond the cost of the production would be donated straightaway to a Childrens' Hospital.
The same will apply here. To explain, if I ship something off to one of you guys, and there is any $ left over after my costs, ANY and ALL balance left over will be donated immediately after the disbursement is over in the name of Kim Possible, and the crew and creators of the show.
I like it. I hope you guys like this idea too.
Back to work.
Photos coming up of the first item, the Poster.
RD

I want that DRY-ERASE BOARD!!!! No, seriously, I'll glue it to my wall! You'll have to arm-wrestle me for it. ;D I have a suggestion on how the booty gets distributed, don't know if it's feasible or the fairest but it's probably better than putting Grandpa RD in a hot seat by making him responsible for who gets what. I think a lottery for order of picking would be the fairest. I'm not offended if this idea is shot down. But I thought I'd put it out here since I haven't seen many other suggestions. 1. Everybody sends in their RS.net username + email address to Grandpa RD. 2. Grandpa (or somebody) selects a random username. That person gets first pick. 3. Second username selected gets to pick from what's left. 4. And so on. This might take some time, and there are always options of breaking the entire bundle into separate lots so multiple choosing can happen concurrently. People could even specify which lot they want to be chosen from. There are all sorts of ways of doing it. Personally, I trust the RS.net staff to be fair, regardless of the method they choose. And the above is only a suggestion, take it as you will. I'm just hoping for a fair shot at something. (Yes, I'd love the dry-erase board, but would also be happy with a poster, if I'm lucky enough to get anything.) - Bink

I have created a folder on KPFW, so RD can upload all the images there when he does get them all uploaded, i will move the folder to it's final location, and i will probably make a new page in the guides section

I think the lottery idea was shot down a few posts ago ^^ But....I want to vouch for binkmeister, 'cause though he may be a new member here, he's contributed a lot to the Kimmunity through ARA. And I think that should be recognized. Off the top of my head, I recall that he's the one who originally provided the fandom with images like: www.kpfanworld.com/images/promotional_art/drakkenamyarguingfy2.jpg

And I agree about the whole we should give the items to loyal fans, people who you know are going to take care of the items. I think the person should be asked to like sign something to say they would take care of the item.

I don't want to make a stink about the distribution method - like I said, I trust Grandpa and the staff to make it as equitable as they can. I would personally lean more toward the lottery system than meritocracy, because I've been bitten by the "rewards to the faithful" blowback.* But that may not be an issue here, depending on a) the quantity of schwag, and b) the maturity of RS.net members. Which is pretty high, and not necessarily governed by physical age. I'll gladly accept whatever distribution system is decided on. Nabusan, thanks for the props... yep, guilty as charged about the PR images. I'm also the guy who came up with ARA's name and graphics - and I'm hosting those graphics. So while I'm new here, I've been in the silent majority of KP fandom since nearly the beginning, with letters and emails for S4, stuff like that. - Bink * Fair disclosure... On the other hand, I've also earned merit rewards like several trips to Europe through (LEGO-related) fan participation. So I really can't (and shouldn't) complain. Which I'm not.
